Sir Geoffrey won this last year off a much higher mark and is not easily dismissed while Windforpower went close over 6f here before running a shocker over track and trip last week behind LANDING NIGHT. The latter won a higher grade handicap than this and may well shrug off a 6lb penalty. Busy Bimbo ended last season with a victory over course and distance but finished last on her reappearance at Beverley and Majestic Manannan is preferred having shown up to better effect over 6f here last time. Irish Girls Spirit landed a double in September but remains 10lb higher than her latest win.
